The Mangeshkar family best known for its musical genes, believes in philanthrophy and run the huge Master Dinananth Mangeshkar Charitable Hospital in Pune, besides other social causes. The Gen X of the family, besides dabbling in music, are successful enterpreneurs.

Zanai and her twin brother Ranjai Bhosle, both students of the prestigious Swiss Boarding School, La Rosey, were present at the event along with proud parents Anand and Anuja Bhosle. Zanai, an avid Apple user, is the brain behind the Apple tie-up venture while Ranjai Bhosle, the silent of the two is busy developing an app
"My grandma (Asha Bhosle) uses Apple as much as I do. Hence when I suggested that we should tie up with the technology of the future, she was equally keen," says Zanai Bhosle who learns both Classical and Light Music from Asha Bhosle.
"We are a musical family and the grandchildren like to keep up with the technology. Hence I supported Zanai and Ranjai's thought and venture. They have the zest and energy." adds proud grandmother Asha Bhosle.
Young Zanai has performed with Asha Bhosle from the time she was 10 years of age. She has appeared in music videos, sung for film soundtrack and was recognized by GIMA with the New Upcoming Star Award (NUSA), and her last song with the 6-Pack Band, received recognition at Cannes, France.
